The Soul2Soul II Tour is the second co-headlining concert tour by American country singers, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. The tour supported McGraw's Reflected: Greatest Hits Vol. 2 and Let It Go , alongside Hill's Fireflies and The Hits. [1] The tour continued into 2007, under a new title, Soul2Soul 2007. The tour received many achievements in both 2006 and 2007. It is estimated to have grossed over US$80 million in 2006, become one of the highest grossing tours in North America, that year. [2][3] It also earned the "Major Tour of the Year" award at Pollstar's Concert Industry Awards. [4]In 2007, the tour is estimated to have grossed over US$50 million. [5]The tour was deemed the "Top Grossing Country Music Tour in History" [6] earning an estimated US$140 million. [5]

Background

The tour was announced on January 30, 2006.[7] On May 11, Hill and McGraw announced that the July 5 concert in New Orleans would benefit Gulf Coast hurricane relief efforts.[8] All of the net proceeds of the concert were targeted to Katrina relief efforts in those two states.

On February 4, 2007, it was announced that the singers would return to the road in the summer of 2007 . They aimed to visit U.S. and Canadian cities they could not reach in 2006; the restart a year later was to still maintain a mostly-summertime schedule, to accommodate their school-age children. McGraw stated on Good Morning America that the tour would probably be the last time he and Hill would tour together.

About the show

The tour featured production values and cost usually associated with large-scale rock tours.[5] A multi-million dollar, unique in-the-round stage set was used. A circular platform in the center of the arena floor was surrounded by a larger circle beneath it, where the band played; vertical scrims could fall down to enclose this area.[9] Performers could disappear or arise through hidden platforms. Extending in all four directions from the circles were long, wide catwalks with mass-motion video screens embedded within them, with fans seated on both sides and at the ends of the catwalks.[10][11] Moving the whole 130,000 pound production from city to city took 150 roadies, 22 trucks, and 14 buses.[5] The concerts even featured hints of a rock element, from a few of McGraw's arrangements to Hill's guitarist's U2 textures to the Who-like introductory music to the presence of KISS and Blue Öyster Cult in the pre-show music.

Controversies and Occurrences

At the July 28 show in Lafayette, Louisiana, at the close of Tim McGraw's set, a female fan reached out and grabbed McGraw's genitalia. When Hill and McGraw returned for the encore, during their performance of "It's Only Love," Hill blasted the fan, waving her finger and saying into the microphone: "Somebody needs to teach you some class, my friend. You don't go grabbin' somebody else's, somebody's husband's [privates], you understand me? That's very disrespectful!" [12]
